Drowning the Noise: The Importance of Acoustic Ceiling Tiles
If you live in the Nashville and Middle Tennessee area, then you are probably familiar with Ozburn-Hessey, the leading flooring company around. You likely know them because of their knowledge, commitment to quality, and devotion to making sure every customer is treated fairly. What you might not know is Ozburn-Hessey does more than just floors, but ceilings too. Specifically, Ozburn-Hessey is one of the leading companies when it comes to acoustic ceiling installation. Ceiling tiles might be easy to forget about because they don’t have the immediate appeal that a new oak hardwood floor has. Rather, the benefits of these tiles are innumerable. Acoustic ceiling tiles are specially crafted pieces of audio technology that will improve the sound quality of your home or business by dampening ambient noises. No longer will there be a concern that your late night jamming is bothering the neighbors.
How it Works
The first thing you need to figure out before making a purchase is what problem you are looking to fix. There are several different types of sound that can be an issue, and of course there are several different types of tiles and materials that fix these problems. For example, if the main thing you are concerned about is the sound coming from other rooms or attached buildings, then you probably want something in the Sound Transmission or Ceiling Attenuation class. They are specifically created to fix those problems, and would work best in an office or a classroom. On the other hand, if you are looking for a material to cut down on echos then go with something with a high Noise Reduction Coefficient. It will cut down on the echoes and sound waves bouncing around the room in question. Tile like this would be perfectly at home in the Ryman Auditorium or anywhere else music is played.
What About the Visuals?
There is a bit of an old school thought process that says that ceiling tiles are these ugly, asbestos-filled pieces that loom overhead. That is no longer the case, as there are a variety of styles and materials to choose from. All of the professionals at Ozburn-Hessey are certified Armstrong Architectural Specialists. When the ceiling you choose is installed, you know it will be done the right way. Many of the materials are recycled as well. The companies Ozburn-Hessey chooses to work with are committed to maintaining a sustainable and environmental focus to provide your home or business with the best materials possible.
